Aldi sources its fish globally, with a strong focus on sustainable and traceable, responsibly managed fisheries and farms. They partner with suppliers worldwide, with many products in the UK sourced from British fisheries and in the US using certified, sustainable practices often labeled with Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certifications.
Our approach is based on sourcing fish and shellfish products from responsibly managed fisheries and farms that have minimal impacts on the wider marine environment and are committed to human rights and fair labor practices throughout the supply chain.
For non-farmed fish in the UK, look for wild-caught options like mackerel, sardines, herring, hake, coley, and sustainable cod or haddock, often certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), with suppliers like Leap Wild Fish, Eversfield Organic, and The Fish Society offering choices like wild salmon, Dover sole, and shellfish, ensuring healthier choices with less fat and contaminants than many farmed varieties.
Fish stocks around the world are under increasing strain from overfishing and pollution. Therefore, Aldi is committed to the sustainability of the world's oceans and environment by ensuring that all of the fish and seafood used in our own-label products is responsibly sourced.

What is the healthiest fish to eat in the UK?
Oily fish – such as salmon and sardines – is also particularly high in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which can help to keep your heart healthy. Most of us should have more fish in our diet, including more oily fish. There is different advice for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and children and babies.
We use close to 50,000 tonnes of seafood (whole weight) annually with approximately 52% wild caught and the remainder farmed. Our aim is to ensure that all wild-caught and farmed seafood and aquafeed, including M&S Scottish salmon, Organic Salmon and trout, come from the most responsibly managed sources.
The rule 10-Minute Rule or Canadian Cooking Method is simple: cook fish for 10-minutes per inch of thickness. Then, flip the fish only once, halfway through the cooking time. Whether you plan to follow a recipe or not, start by measure the thickest part of the fish with a clean ruler.
Wild-caught fish often have a firmer texture and more pronounced flavour due to their natural diet and active lifestyle. Farm-raised fish, on the other hand, may have a more uniform colour and texture, reflecting the controlled environment in which they were raised.
This doesn't mean we should stop eating fish and seafood. In fact, most food and even bottled water now contain similar levels of micro- and nanoplastics. What we must understand is that plastic is a hazardous material. Harmful chemicals can leach from plastic packaging into our food and water.
